Interesting. I agree that the new sign was really needed. We were traveling westbound on SW 143rd (toward Fred Meyers) about a month ago and saw a serious accident at that intersection. The car in front of us (also westbound) was “T-Boned” by a SUV that blew through the 6th Ave stop sign without pausing in the southbound direction. After stopping to check on the victims and call 911, several residents came out and were saying that the intersection had been the site of repeated accidents when the vehicles traveling on 6th did not stop for (the then 2 way) stop sign. That intersection is very close to the Burien Co-op preschool, in a residential neighborhood with a good bit of foot traffic.

Kudos to the first responders, both police and EMTs arrived in less than 5 minutes.
